156A Week 10

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • • Risk reduction test in progress

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • • Comprehended future deliverables from professor 

    • Assigned individual component analysis to each team member

    • Developed a broad idea on individual analysis

    • Finalized risk reduction procedure

    • Participated in risk reduction test on material deformation

    • A meeting with the sponsor has been arranged regards to risk reduction agreement

    • Budget form in progress

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • • Discussion with sponsors on risk reduction agreement and make sure that our team are on the right track

    • Perform the practical test for the maximum deformation of the tube with injected fluid, and the minimum bending rate when fluid gets jammed.

    • Data collection on risk reduction test result

    • Analysis of risk reduction test results in depth 

    • Starting working on individual component analysis and risk reduction presentation

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • • The first priority is always combining the guiding stylet with the Laryngotracheal into a single device made of bendable material to increase efficiency during the intubation procedure. Worries about the retraction later.

    • Dimensions are listed on the bag of existing parts.

    • Both designs should be tested for consideration

    • Notice the possible reaction between the stylet and medication

    • No need to apply every drop of the anesthesia but most of them.

    • The index code for the budget form will be sent to us by email later.

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • • Bring physical parts on the weekly meeting

    • Material choice consideration: stainless steel 301, and stainless steel 316, look for other options. (Injection mold plastic)

    • Individual component analysis assigned: 1. Material for stylet (David). 2. Spray delivery systems (Jiahao). 3. Anesthesia, including precision, physical properties, and how it will fit onto the tube (Daniel). 4.Luers lock mechanism (Ascher)

    • For presentation, images can be hand-drawn but should be color-coded for a clear introduction. A step-by-step approach should be utilized in introducing the intubation procedure with existing design and optimized design. 

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • • Frictions between the L-tube and E-tube, and the friction between the stylet and L-tube.

    • The angle of the tip at a certain degree to allow feelings on the vocal cord

    • Shearing strength of the material

    • Abrasion with intubating tube

    • The maximum radius of bending

    • The softness of the material for protecting soft fragile

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • • N/A so far.

Schedule

• • • Describe upcoming milestone

• • Perform preliminary hardware and testing for risk reduction regarding material deformation on emphasis. Data collection and discussion for analysis.

    • Update Gantt chart.

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)

• • • N/A

Progress on Report and Webpage

• Webpage in progress
